Three PCTV Senior Youth Producers helped the PCTV staff lead a two part video workshop at the Fall "Peace Jam Slam" which was held on October 25th at Metropolitan State University in St. Paul. The workshop was called "Remaking Political Ads with Video", and it was designed to get Peace Jam youth to look at and think about how political commercials work and then use video to make their own "satirical" political ad. The PCTV youth leaders were Shay Shay, Lech, and Ashley. PCTV volunteer Anthony also helped with the workshop. Nice work everyone!
